Sun Apr 13 21:15:00 UTC 2025: ## Israeli Military Intercepts Missile Launched from Yemen
**Jerusalem, April 14, 2025** – The Israeli military announced the interception of a missile launched from Yemen on Sunday, April 13th. Initial reports suggested two missiles were fired, triggering sirens in several areas, including Tel Aviv. While the military later stated that only one missile was likely intercepted, Yemen’s Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for launching two ballistic missiles targeting the Sdot Micha base and Ben Gurion Airport. AFP journalists in Jerusalem confirmed hearing the sirens followed by muffled blasts. The Houthi attack, the group stated, was in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza, escalating tensions in the ongoing conflict. This incident follows a pattern of missile and drone attacks on Israel by the Iran-backed Houthis since the October 2023 Gaza war.
